RHSSC19 - Amour

Well, I sure have been enjoying the snow we've had so far here in Michigan!  I really don't like being cold, but I do like seeing everything covered with the white fluffy stuff. I especially enjoy seeing the trees covered in white. :)  Now on to today's card...it's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot challenge.  Here is my take on the sketch. I'm not big into Valentine's Day, but thought I'd do a card that's half way there by using some Valentine colors and adding "amour". :)  


You can join in the challenge too if you'd like.  Just head over to the Red Hot Stampers blog here.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hello Kitty Birthday

Today's post is a tradition I've started with my nieces for their birthdays...making them a purse and card, then putting a couple of other fun things in it.  I saw a Hello Kitty pattern by Lynn Pratt here and thought it would be the perfect thing for a four year old.  So cute!!




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC18 - The Open Sea

It's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge and here is my take on this week's sketch.  As soon as I saw the diagonal on this sketch I knew I was going to make a masculine card and use The Open Sea set.  Love this set because I don't have to think a lot when I use it.  Of course, it helps when I have a great sketch to follow. :)  To see other cards using this same sketch click here.

RHSSC16 - Just for You

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your day is filled with family, friends and fun...and of course celebrating our Savior's birth. My sister-in-law posted a song by Selah on Facebook Christmas Eve day and it's been in my head.  Listen to it here if you have the time.  It's a great song!   Now on to this week's Red Hot Stampers challenge.  I knew I wanted something with snowflakes because that's what we should be having right now in this part of Michigan, so I quickly whipped this card up using one of my favorite colors and a new punch I finally bought.  Make sure you click on the Red Hot Stampers link to check out more cards for this design...or even play along if you'd like. :)





Thanks for looking and have a great day!
